Metal's pelt is jet black like the night. He often uses this to his advantage by sinking into the shadows.He has dark grey markings on his muzzle, neck, under belly, paw tips and under his tail.

.::History::.The main story starts way before Metal's birth. At the territory of the Blackbloods. His uncle Nightmare, was first in line as leader in the pack. However the current alphas (Metal's grandparents) saw Nightmare was becoming obsessed with power. Not wanting this in a leader, they moved Nightmare aside and gave the position to Nero Shadow, Metal's father. Furious of such news, Nightmare turned all his anger on his younger brother. In the dead of night, Nero left his territory for a bit. Suspicious of this, Nightmare followed in the shadows. What he found surprised him. Nero had a forbidden mate, a fae named Jadezia from a rival pack. The two often escaped at night to see one another. Jadezia was pregnant, with Nero's offspring. It wasn't long till Nightmare passed such information to the pack's elders.

Breaking the pack's rules, Nero had no choice but to flee. With Jade, the two ran to a place where they could raise their pups. Not long after came Metal and his siblings. Metal lost his eldest brother to a bear attack. Nero did all he could, but it was too late. At the age of a yearling, Metal often followed his father around. He enjoyed his father's stories, even the ones that weren't true. One day Nero disappeared. Months passed but he never returned. Even to this day it is unknown what happened to Nero. Some believe Nightmare had something to do with it. But no proof could ever be found. Not long after, Jadezia became weak from depression. She caught a sickness and died shortly after. Her pups, now yearlings and alone, the 5 had no choice but to move. Survival seemed impossible, as they only knew the basics of hunting. They found the Blackblood's pack, unaware of their father's outlaw. Nightmare, the newest leader, took Cullen in as he was the strongest and eldest. Nightmare then ordered for the pack to kill the rest of the pups. Metal's siblings were killed in front of him. Only a yearling, Metal was defencless. There was nothing he could do. With the swipe of a paw, one of the Blackblood's warriors created the scar over Metal's eye. Terrified, Metal ran from the pack as fast as he could. The blackblood warrior's didn't go after him, as they knew a pup would die on its own anyway. What they didn't know was that Metal would find a pack to take him in.

His very first pack were the Avilaks, run by the large male named Armorak. The brute took Metal under his wing, and taught him how to defend himself. After a year, Metal left to find a pack of his own. A pack where he felt he truly belonged. 2 years have passed since then. During those years he has been in many wars, had a taste of love and become a leader. Now, he starts fresh to find a new pack.
